ArithmeType Code Update Tool


A new code update is available for Math Keyboards and Calculus Keyboards purchased prior to 8/18/25. This version corrects the code for the purple Start GD EQ key to accommodate the new menu in Google Docs.

1. Put your ArithmeType device into code update mode, turning over the keyboard and holding down the Code Update button for a few seconds as you plug your device into the computer. (Disregard the temporary pop-up for autoplay if that appears--it will disappear.)

2. Select one of the following options below for your device and language preference.

 

3. When the pop-up appears, select the RPI-RP2 drive on the left (you may need to scroll down). Next, click the button on the bottom right labeled Open (Chrome OS), Select Folder (Windows OS), or Select (Mac OS)


File Dialog Popup


Your ArithmeType device should automatically apply the selected update and be ready for use. Double check your OS mode selection light on the back of the keyboard, as it may need to be reset to your chosen OS. If needed, press the button twice to select the desired OS.


Troubleshooting

If there is an error message such as "Aborted due to security policy", then you may need to turn off your browser's popup blocker. To do this, click the three dots in the top right corner of your screen, select Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Site Settings, then scroll down to Popups and Redirects. Change the default behavior to the option "Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects". Now you can refresh your browser and try the upload process again, starting at step 1. After the upload is complete, you can change the pop-up blocker back to the previous setting if you wish. 

If an error message shows up after the first upload attempt, refresh the screen and try the upload procedure again as it may succeed on the second try.
